For
the past 29 years, Scott has been combining his skills as artist
and designer on canvas and in the landscape. His paintings evolve
through an intuitive approach that requires a dynamic medium.
Oil paint provides the flexibility to allow Morgan to move through
many scenarios and dialogues with the paint.
Originally from New York, Scott lived in Florida for 25 years
before moving to Seattle, WA. After 20 years in the northwest he
recently relocated to rural Vermont. Scott brings a unique variety
of experience and influence to his art. His journeys to Mexico,
China, Central America and the Caribbean have influenced his color
palette and sense of style. His experiences as a professional musician
are evident in the rhythm and movement in his paintings. The structural
and sculptural qualities seen in his work are informed by his extensive
career as a landscape architect.
Patrons of Scott's work often
comment on the lyrical, narrative quality of the pieces. They are
crafted in the tradition of short stories, passages of improvisational
music and poetry. Movement and rhythm, line, form and color are
the tools that provide links to the evolving story line. These ‘stories'
or ‘songs' unfold as an abstract translation of Scott's inspiration
and perspective. Scott invites us, the audience, to participate
in the dialogue through our individual and unique interpretation.
